Each school consists of two storeys and accommodates up to 500 pupils with 48 full-time nursery places. The schools provide highly sought after Welsh medium places in Cardiff.

The three schools are very similar in construction, with the exception of Hamadryad school’s additional changing block on the side elevation which allows students to make use of the sports facilities at Hamadryad Park. Each school will provide a comfortable and modern learning environment, with SENCO and quiet rooms within each nursery department. The schools are also designed with community use in mind, providing multi-use games areas and function rooms available for hire.
